The Development of Causal Model in Implementing the Integrity and Transparency Assessment Policy of Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the confirmatory factors influencing the success factors model in driving the evaluation policy of integrity and transparency. It employs a quantitative research approach. The population of the study comprises personnel from 18 state-owned higher education institutions that received an A grade in the 2022 evaluation of integrity and transparency in the operations of government agencies. The sample consists of 400 personnel from these institutions. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Second-Order Confirmatory Factor Analysis (SOCFA) using statistical software were employed to analyze the data. The findings reveal that the developed confirmatory factors are consistent with the empirical data. The latent variable model influencing the implementation of the integrity and transparency evaluation policy (ITA) in higher education institutions consists of three main factors: leadership, policy acceptance and clarity, and organizational competency. The component weights of the latent variables range from 0.94 to 0.69, and the component weights of the observed variables range from 0.81 to 0.35.
